All Chapters of Once His Wife, Now His Regret: Chapter 121 - Chapter 127

Phina stood in front of the crowd of reporters like she was their leader. A microphone rested in one hand, and a satisfied smile curved her lips—the smile of someone who had been waiting a very long time for this moment.My stomach dropped.What...what is she doing here?"We meet again," she said and the smile on her face made my fingers curl into my palms.I never expected to see her standing in front of me in this kind of situation. After hearing that she had submitted her resignation letter on the same day as my inauguration ceremony, I thought she had finally realized she had gone too far. I thought she had left because she was afraid I would come after her.Or maybe not.Maybe she had felt guilty.Maybe, after everything she had done to Lucy and me, the weight of it had finally become too much to carry. Maybe she had chosen to disappear rather than face the people she had hurt.That was why I stopped. And I told Lucy to drop the legal charges against her and Alexa. I decided to l

CHAPTERBy the time I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed. The first thing I saw was the white ceiling above me. For a moment, I simply stared at it, confused and then the memories came back and I felt a cold chill running down my spine.I had always heard people say that the public could be terrifying and now I just witnessed it first hand.“Charlotte, are you okay?”“Dear, how are you feeling now?”The voices came from both sides of my bed.I slowly turned my head. Lucy was sitting on one side and my aunt was sitting on the other. Both of them looked exhausted. Their eyes were full of worry, as though neither of them had rested since I was brought here.They kept asking questions but their voices were just fading to the back of my mind, my mind still repeating the scenes that happened earlier.I wrapped my arms around myself and tears almost flooded out of my eyes as I wondered what exactly did I really deserve to get all that from them.Was it really wrong that I was too forgi

I looked into her eyes. My left hand curled into a fist beneath the table. My right hand tightened around the spoon so hard that I thought it might snap. The water dripped from the end of my chin and I did not move to wipe it away.“What? Are you angry? Did you want to hit me?” she asked with a sneer.But I didn’t react.I just looked at my food that was now filled with water. But I still needed to eat. So I dug my spoon inside my food and took my first bite.“Wow.”“No way.”“She’s actually eating it.”More laughter followed.“I can’t believe a billionaire heiress is eating prison slop mixed with dirty water.”The laughter grew louder.I ignored every word.“Hey.”She jabbed a finger into my chest.“Look at me.”I didn’t.“Aren’t you angry?”Another shove.“Don’t you want to hit me back?”She kept rambling as if she had wanted me to get angry and attacked her first but I refused to give in to that.“Fine, let's see how long you can last.”I took another spoon, not looking at her or a

A laugh tore out of Flora—high-pitched. Nothing like the soft, calculated laughter I remembered from our past encounters. Paired with her face, it was pure horror.Why…why did she look like this?She lowered the concrete pipe slowly, still breathing hard, and stared down at Clyde’s motionless body. Her expression flickered between contempt and something almost like sorrow.“You are really insufferable,” she muttered. “After everything she did to you,” Flora continued, voice rising, “after everything she took from us—you still can’t let her go? You’re still clinging to her like a pathetic dog?” She spat on the floor near him. “How disgusting.”Then she turned to me.“And you…” Her lips curled. “You really are shameless, Charlotte. You ruined his life. You turned our daughter against us—now she won’t even look at me. You destroyed every chance we had of being together properly, of raising our child the way we deserved.” She tilted her head, studying me like a specimen. “Yet you still ma
